SHOK-1

A little bit more of SHOK-1 now, and some pieces that I liked from the last little while.

He did this commissioned piece in China, and it wasn't up long (in fact he was on the plane back to UK) before the Chinese government sensored it. They informed him it was to be painted over, but that didn't happen - instead, they "modified" it, with the addition of some fish and hook ends. Looks carp now!

SHOK-1 at Meeting of Styles, London

(click on image to enlarge)

Here is the post as promised earlier. These images are from the bone wall he did at Meeting of styles, The Studio, Holloway in London last month. This piece really stood out for us - it was so different from anything there, and from anything we'd seen before. I was following SHOK-1 a while back, and went to a few of his exhibition openings, but his style has evolved fast in the last couple of years, and I love what he is doing right now.Will put some more of his work up in the next little while, so keep an eye out...
